From the Talmud
(Commentary to Tractate Bava Batra, 118a, from Artscroll):
"Human thoughts can triggera variety of natual phenomena that can cascade and eventually lead to the destruction of physical bodies. Accordingly, when something successful engenders the amazement of people, its future is endangered.
The ethical basis for ayin hara (evil eye) is explained by some as follows: The blessings bestowed byHashema upon an indiviuual ahould not seve as a source of anguish to others. If one allows his blessings (ie wealth, children) to cause pain to others less fortunateone arouses a divine judgment against himself and a reevaluation of their fitness for those blessings. This can lead to their subjection to the destructive forces of ayin hara.

Parashat Noach 5785 / פָּרָשַׁת נֹחַ
2 November 2024 / 1 Cheshvan 5785
Parashat Noach is the 2nd weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.
Torah Portion: Genesis 6:9-11:32; Numbers 28:9-15
Noach (“Noah”) begins as God decides to destroy mankind with a flood. At God’s command, the righteous Noah builds an ark, where Noah, his family, and select animals survive the flood. Noah’s children bear children, and several generations develop. God confounds the speech of people building the Tower of Babel. [1]

Hebrew School at Temple Sholom of Ontario
Religious School is starting up again and kicks off with:
In-Person Learning, Sunday, November 3 @ 10:00am - 12:00 noon
We are going to be starting up our religious school in the next few weeks. We have delayed the start due to the High Holidays and felt that families would participate and bring the kids, which would be a lot like religious instruction.
ith the end of the High Holidays we are back to a lighter, normal schedule. We are planning on a more consistent schedule. We will have our in-person learning on the first weekend of the month. The other 3 weeks will be on Zoom and consist of Hebrew instruction and Torah learning. We will also discuss the holidays as they come up and other topics, like prophets.
Daylight Saving Time ends
Sunday, November 3 @ 2:00 AM
Daylight saving time will end for the year at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 3, when we "fall back" and gain an extra hour of sleep. Next year, it will begin again on Sunday, March 9, 2025.
Semi-Annual Congregation Meeting
Sunday, 24 November 2024 @ 1pm
We are conveniently located in Tustin, Orange County, across the street from the OC Kosher Market.
